”Daddy, this poopoo-head is such a big meanie! He called Ketchup a scammer! Pweh! Which part of Ketchup's cute, mighty, and fluffy self looks like a scammer?! Ketchup is now cuter and mightier! How dare that poopoo-head call this super-duper to the highest level awesome kitty baby a scammer?! This is the first time the cute and mighty me feels so offended in my entire kitty baby life! Daddy, Ketchup wants to show off my mighty roar of justice to that poopoo-head! Mreow!!!”

Jin Liwei glanced up from the documents he was reading to check on his wife lying on their bed. He was working from the chaise longue and conversing with his AI daughter through an earpiece so as not to disturb his wife.

Similarly, Iris was also wearing an earpiece while attending a virtual lesson with Professor Hisakawa Akio. The two were conversing mainly in Japanese. Since Jin Liwei was also proficient in the language, he could understand them without any problem. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy.

The doctor allowed Iris to continue studying and working with strict time limits as long as she stayed in bed and didn't move around too much for at least fifteen days. She was also not allowed to engage in any activities that required a great amount of mental concentration which might stress her out and affect her babies' condition. In short, she couldn't do any complicated hacking or programming tasks which was frustrating her so much especially because there was a lot to follow up after the battle with the Eagle hackers and their mysterious connection to El Payaso.

Iris' main goal during her bed rest was to nurture her health in order to stabilize the babies in her womb. Once the twins were no longer in any danger of being lost in a miscarriage, only then would the doctor allow Iris to gradually resume her normal daily activities.

During this period that his wife was in complete bed rest, Jin Liwei would go to the company and work there until lunch break. Then he would go home to eat lunch and stay with his wife for the rest of the day. Although Iris didn't utter any word of complaints, he knew his wife well enough to sense her growing dissatisfaction and boredom each day that she had to stay in bed.

All he could do was comfort her as much as possible, especially since her mood had been quite gloomy ever since they returned home from the hospital. His brother-in-law had not woken up yet from his comatose state. Grandpa Lu transferred Lu Zihao to the big hospital where Wang Yingjie worked and basically lived there at his grandson's private room while waiting for Lu Zihao to wake up.

As for Jin Liwei, his injuries had mostly all healed. Only the big and ugly bruises remained, especially the ones on his face. The scratches had also already scabbed over.

Ever since that eventful night, reporters and paparazzi would always hound him whenever he stepped out in public. He didn't bother continuing his pitiful victim act from that night and just stayed silent with his usual cold and indifferent expression and not bothering to answer any questions from the media.

Xu Tian, the increasingly talented actor, had become his dramatic mouthpiece. In addition, his lawyer, Atty. Kang Huizhong, had already filed several criminal cases against Rose Young and her missing minions on his behalf. The two of them could handle the media in his stead.

”Daddy, daddy! Are you listening to Ketchup? Meow!” His distracted thoughts were interrupted by his AI daughter's adorable child's voice.
